===Resource Generation=== 
In addition to providing shelter and research capabilities, outposts also serve as production hubs for valuable resources:
====Raw Material Harvesting====
* Surface Extractors can harvest common minerals, metals, and elements over time 
* Extractors are placed near detected mineral deposits identified by surveying
* Mining rigs can be built to access buried resources like ore veins
* Oil wells and natural gas extractors can tap into fossil fuel reservoirs
* Resource quantities depend on the natural abundances present around the outpost
====Agriculture====
* Hydroponic habs enable growing alien plants, fungi, and other lifeforms
* Different crops can be cultivated based on discovered flora across planets 
* Biologists can research plant genetics to optimize crop yields and growth times
* Resources are harvested from plants via techniques like milking, tapping, and sustainable gathering
====Creature Husbandry====
* Alien creatures can potentially be kept at outposts as livestock
* Livestock can be bred and raised specifically for harvesting resources 
* Examples include grazing creatures, insects, and other invertebrates
* Requires zoologists to learn creature husbandry practices and optimal breeding
* Pens, habitats, and food sources must be provided for livestock
* Animals are processed for resources like hide, meat, secretions, eggs, etc.
====Processing & Production====
* Collected raw resources can be processed and refined into usable materials
* Metals can be smelted into ingots, alloys formed by alloying, gases condensed and collected
* Organic resources can be processed into materials like textiles and consumables 
* Advanced fabrication capabilities can use refined resources to produce items
* Technicians optimize processing operations and yields
